Energy Saving Tips

Hopefully this is something you've heard before, but in any case it bears repeating:

Set your thermostat at 78 degrees in the summer!


This is the #1 thing you can do to save on your utility bill. Get a programmable thermostat and you can set it to 80+ when you are asleep or gone from the house for 4+ hours.

You can also:

1. Replace incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs that last longer and emit less heat.

2. Turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth.

3. Turn off TVs, lights and unused appliances. Also use energy-saving power strips.

4. Replace showerheads with low-flow showerheads.
